- Muslims are having more babies, per person, than us infidels. In some places, the ratio is about double. Do that for long and you'll be living in a majority-Islam nation.
- Modern wars in the West are fought at the ballot box. Majority-Islam means Sharia in one form or another.
- Muslims are pretty strict with their sex roles. There's not a lot of STEM outreach for girls in the Muslim world and I'd bet that their military recruiting ads don't feature chicks in every one.
- American military ads feature women all over the place, looking like they could strangle small horses with their bare hands. Or something like that.
Caveat for my dear friend Foxie: I'm all for women in the military. They can perform well in all manner of roles with a few exceptions. Women in the infantry, for example, is a bad idea. Hopefully we are still friends after this blog post. - Lurking at places like Costco, waiting for security to throw me out, it seems as though American Millennials don't cling to traditional sex roles in appearance or behavior. As we used to say in college during the Pleistocene, "(locating being disparaged) - where the men are men, the women are men and the sheep are nervous." Only in this case, it's more like, "Where the men are confused, the women think they're men and the sheep are sustainably raised." Or something like that.
- Listening to my wannabe-transgender friend, I hear the familiar gibberish of the progressives - that gender is fluid and sex can be chosen and there aren't any real differences between men and women and that's why you have to be one sex or another which you can choose even though you don't have the characteristics at the cellular level and if you disagree, you're a hateful bigot. Prior to going completely insane, she wasn't the sort you'd have picked for becoming a man. If ordinary people are succumbing to this cult, there's something significant happening.
- I'm not certain, but I think Muslims are even less interested in transgendering each other than they are with sheep being nervous. And that sheep thing is right out.
So explain away. My thought is that you can't redefine sex roles or at least significantly soften the boundaries of sex roles without having some impact on the whole point of sex roles in the first place - making babies. I'd suggest that the simple data point of birth rates supports this.
I could be wrong.

ReplyDeleteThat's weird. That is almost exactly the opposite of what I have been told by the (admittedly small number of) transgendered folks I am acquainted with. What they have told me is:
1. There are distinct differences in male and female brains, and;
2. Through some developmental quirk, they personally have a brain with a gender that does not match the gender of their body; and
3. Since this mismatch is causing them distress, and they have been unable to switch the gender of their brain, they have opted to do what they can to alter the gender of their body, which they say does help to reduce their distress.
I think that we've got two things going on here: on the one hand, there are actual transgender people, who have an actual condition that causes them real distress, and that they are trying to deal with the best they can. And on the other, we have an apparent fad (which may be specific to California? I haven't met any locally, but you apparently have them there) where people are trying to convince themselves that they can change both mental and physical gender at will because they think it is a cool idea. The second group will probably eventually go away, like bell-bottoms, but I expect that in the meantime they are going to cause a lot of unnecessary problems for the first group.
I can't understand why, I was so even-handed and fair!

*IF* that is accurate, then the conclusion is true; however, some of the data sources are rather less accurate than asking a teen boy if he's a virgin, and for similar reasons. Turns out when you ask a highly observant Muslim how many children he has, you publicly question his masculinity, and the number is double or more how many any woman he's been involved with has actually given birth to. (This is ignoring sampling issues like the UK numbers that take the number of offspring claimed by a polygamous man and input that as a per-woman birth rate.)
This...issue...was discovered by frantic searching for population that simply wasn't there when medical, or evacuation, services had to be offered.
It's somewhat reminiscent of the infamously much smaller than advertised cities of Soviet Russia; if I remember right, Mr. and Mrs. Heinlein both totally believed the claimed size, until they actually visited-- at which point Mr. Heinlein worked out that there simply wasn't the physical resources to support the claimed numbers, and Mrs. Heinlein figured out that none of the grandmas she spoke to had anything like the number of grandkids that were required for the claimed population.

After doing my absolute honorable best for two hitches, I'm less supportive of women in the military.
Partly because of the (insert sailor appropriate language here) females who will gladly put other women in deadly danger, and endanger everyone else while they're at it, if it improves their promotion chances, and partly because humans are flawed creatures and there are a lot of people who have serious issues working with members of the opposite sex effectively, and the military isn't the place for working that kind of junk out. For starters not putting women in jobs that are flatly not physically suited needs to be stomped on, hard, because it gets people DEAD.
This has really, really pissed off quite a few people who take it upon themselves to speak for me as a veteran. Because I really, really want a cut-rate John Kerry to tell me what I'm allowed to believe, and argue with me about what I saw while ignoring the supporting evidence.
(cuts to get through filter)
I have heard from folks in college environments that there's flatly predatory recruitment for "transgenders" going on-- usually focusing on the folks who use to be identified as "on the spectrum." As well as extremely nasty pressure-- sometimes violent-- against those who were once "questioning" but got the politically wrong answer.
ReplyDeleteI am neither surprised by the suicide rate of post-ops (do this, it will fix everything! WAit, no, I'm still me and still have problems...and now I've been abandoned....) nor do I expect it to go down. Rather the opposite.
Possibly part of your problem is that you are in California, though.
I suspect the birth-rate thing would have more to do with chemical birth control, and 30+years of constant drum-beats that having a child ends your life.
Yeah, supposedly it's about unmarried teen births...but that isn't what they actually told us in class, and a lot of their examples were women in their 20s whose lives were utterly ruined because they got pregnant. "I had a promising career, and then I got pregnant*."
So you gotta get out of college before you have kids.
And you've got to have a career before you get married. Most likely you will move in with your fiance. If you're lucky, you won't move out in ten years with him still never having actually, you know, bothered to marry you. He will be extremely upset that you abandoned him, by the way**.
And then you've got to be in a good place, financially...but both you and your husband have debts... and you are a waste if you don't have a career. That's what real women do, you see. Put off having the kids until you're successful.
Wait, now I'm 35, have no kids, have marriage problems because we both work our rumps off and basically just sleep in the same house, where the heck is my success?
* Like it's something you just catch, like a cold. -.- I'd say something nasty about young women, but given the amount of complaint from young males who also cannot make the connection, and then whine about the female not taking enough steps, it appears to be yet another "HUMANS!" issue.
** One of the guys we gamed with, we thought he was married. Until he came on drunk as heck, because his "fiance" had left him. He proposed almost fifteen years before, and reading between the lines he actively prevented anything like a wedding actually happening, but it was horrible she'd abandoned him like that, when "all" he'd done was sink wedding plans. Again. Looking back, it may have been partly our fault, too. It was when I was pregnant with the Princess, and apparently she overheard...and finally realized that he was never going to marry her and have kids, no matter what he'd promised.
